Recommended Removal Procedures
The removal of the surface is typically taken for granted;
it is the removal however that determines not only the life
of the surface, but more importantly the condition of the
playing surfaces next use. The key elements of a success-
ful removal are, proper separation of the Velcro, rolling
the surface up tight and consistently, and then proper
storage. The following procedures should be followed to
ensure a proper surface removal for storage.
1. Prior to removal ensure the entire surface is clean
and free of debris.
2. Removal all custom ad panels and replace with green
blanks for storage. Removed Ad Panels should be
stored flat, in a temperature and moisture controlled
environment.
3. Start at the opening to the playing surface and with
the appropriate number of attendants, separate the
Velcro seam. This needs to be carefully done and by
sliding your hand along the seam and careful and
gently separating the contact. Facilities can purchase
Cordura strips to be inserted between the two panels
to keep them separated.
4. Once the Velcro seam has been separated and the
Cordura strip inserted the panel can be floated apart.
5. Once separated the panels should be rolled up using
approved cores. While rolling up the panels, it is im-
perative to ensure the roll is tight, rolled consistently,
and straight. If not rolled straight, the edges will not
line up and this will cause potential damage during
storage.
6.
Carefully remove the rolled up panel from the floor
using a forklift with a carpet boom, and place into
its storage position. It is important to not stack rolls
during storage as this will create echo ripples and
make the surface unsafe for play.
7. For more information on Storage refer to the section

Surfacing Systems
Storage is the key to maintaining your Act Global remov-
able surfacing system in a safe and professional con-
dition. Since the surface spends over 90% of its life in
storage, this is the crucial element of care. Please follow
the guidelines below to ensure proper storage:
1. Always store the surface in a temperature and hu-
midity controlled environment.
2. The storage environment should have proper pro-
tection from weather, and a temperature above 55
Degrees Fahrenheit should be maintained.
3. The Act Global removable sports surfacing system
should be rolled unto approved cores.
4. The surface should be rolled tight, consistent and
straight.
5.
The rolls should be stored on a finished floor, or Act
Global rounded storage carts. The panels should nev-
er be stacked onto each other. For creative storage
solutions contact your local Act Global representa-
tive.
6. Custom ad panels should be stacked onto each oth-
er, on an appropriately sized Ad Panel skid. Ad Panels
should always be stored flat.
7. Cores that are damaged should be replaced immedi-
ately.
Storing your surface properly will ensure player safety and
the surfaces long life.
